Expedia did not disclose that the property was being renovated and it was super noisy, hard to sleep. Also the Expedia rate was well above booking direct, which would have been fine if the stay was great but is tough swallow when it’s bad.

Excellent location proximate to both Penn and Drexel campuses. A short run to the Schuylkill Riverfront Trail which is a great place to run if you’re into that. Plenty of delicious restaurants in the neighborhood. It is undergoing renovations but we weren’t in hotel during the day so the noise we were warned about didn’t bother us. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful.
